ELAC

Each California public school, grades kindergarten through 12, with 21 or more English learners must form an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC).

ELAC is a meeting place that parents can use as a platform to express their concerns and ideas to the school, to inform the decisions of the Director and the teachers. The ELAC meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 8:15 am.

What is ELPAC? The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) is the successor to the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). Beginning in 2017–18, the ELPAC is the required state test for English language proficiency (ELP) that must be given to students whose primary language is a language other than English. The California Department of Education (CDE) expects to be fully transitioned from the CELDT to the ELPAC as the state's assessment of ELP by 2018–19.

What is our school doing to help our students with the ELPAC test?

The school is going in to hold to two workshops, one on Saturday, January 27, 2018, at 9:00 am and the second one on Saturday, February 02, 2018 at 9:00 am. This workshop is for all the English Learners students. Please support this effort by bringing your children to the workshops.The goal of the workshops is to provide these students with practice test questions so that they can become familiar with the types of test questions on the ELPAC.
